In recent years, the Songpan County Party Committee and the County Government have insisted
on combining river dredging with flood prevention and disaster reduction. According to “scientific
dredging and turning waste into treasure”, Songpan County has taken various measures to carry
out flood dredging and comprehensive river improvement of the Xunqian River this year to make
solid progress in the Minjiang River Basin. The comprehensive ecological management of the
Baicao River ensures the spaciousness of the river and the safety of flood discharge during the
flood season.
This period is the dry season of the Baicao River. Songpan County has seized the opportunity
to carry out in-depth investigations of potential safety hazards in flood control, and carried out
comprehensive dredging of rivers in Baiyang Township before the flood by using silt curtains
and dredgers.
This time, Baiyang Township Songpan County carried out dredging of key river sections with
severe siltation to clean up riverbed sediments and improve the flood-carrying capacity of the
river.
